PAN logo Americans for the Arts Public Art Network (PAN) develops professional services for the broad array of individuals and organizations engaged in the expanding field of public art.
 
Forty projects were selected for the 2010 Year in Review and presented at the recent Public Art Network Preconference in Baltimore, June 24, 2010. Curators Helen Lessick and Fred Wilson selected the projects from more than 390 submissions from across the country. Lessick commented on this year's projects, "The best in contemporary public art uses public space and public language, municipal architecture, and vernacular sites for contemporary creative practice." All forty projects are compiled on the 2010 Year in Review CD available for only $40 ($50 for nonmembers) in our Online Store.
